Thank You Gift Idea/ Cupcake Stand

Because of a technical glitch, I am still using my Phone Camera- ug!  One of these days my camera will be up and running again!

This is a great gift or thank you idea.  I made this last week as a thank you gift for something special that someone did for me and she and her family loved it.

It is Oreo Truffles on top of a cake stand that I also made.  (click here for recipe: http://www.bakerella.com/grocery-item-goes-gourmet/ and click here for cake stands: JL Plates and Platters.)

This is all you need to make the truffles.

Just crush the Oreo's.  Then mix it with the cream cheese.  You roll it into balls and dip it into melted white chocolote bark.

This is one of my favorite plates I've run across.  It was perfect on a vintage hobnail milkglass pedestal.



 And viola!  A little tulle and a ribbon to hold the truffles in place.  It made the perfect gift.  To order cake stands, visit my Etsy shop here: JL Plates and Platters.    The possibilities are endless!  You can put cakes, cupcakes, cookies, truffles, flowers, cake pops, or anything on top.

A Garden Wedding

Though I am still awaiting pictures from the professional photographer, Instagram will have to do for now! I snapped a few pictures with my phone.

Her colors were aqua blue, teal green, and purple (the colors are somewhat distorted in the photo with the frames).  She also wanted a splash of yellow thrown in.  This took place in a beautiful backyard with a screened in porch and it was actually a breakfast reception.  I went with a simple cottage theme and the bride loved it!  She really loved all the frames I made with pictures of her and the groom "framed" in them.
